• The generator must be checked regularly to ensure its proper function-
ing. The connections of the high voltage cables must be free of dirt and
other foreign matter (see chapter 5.1 "High voltage generator”,
page 38).
• When cleaning do not soak the bars and the high voltage cable in sol-
vent and do not damage the emission tips; allow the solvent to evapo-
rate completely before restarting the unit (see chapter 5 "Maintenance”,
page 38).
• The operation of the bars can generate ozone. The ozone concentra-
tion levels developing near the bars depend on many different factors
such as site of installation, bar current and voltage, air circulation, etc.,
and can therefore not be specified in general terms.
If the maximum allowable concentration of ozone must be observed at
the site of installation of the bar, the concentration must be measured
on site.
The AGW value (maximum admissible concentration) serves to assess
the ozone concentration at the workplace. The user must make sure
that the appropriate national AGW value is at no times exceeded, e.g.
in Germany the ozone concentration occurring during the operation of
the system must not exceed the recommended value based on interna-
tional limits of 0.06 ml/m³ (0.12 mg/m³).
• Static on personnel
Static charges on personnel are unlikely if the bars are installed proper-
ly. Personnel must wear conductive footwear.
Please note all national regulations regarding electrostatic charge (e.g.
TRGS 727 in Germany).
